Chapter Twenty-seven In The Midst Of Chaos There Can Still Be Gratitude

IN THE MIDST OF CHAOS THERE CAN STILL BE
GRATITUDE

That is the lesson and my blessing for today. The day started off with my husband telling me, yet again, that he wants a divorce and that this time he really means it. The truth is, he loves me dearly and does not want a divorce but does want me to never do anything that might possibly cause him pain. It is almost never my intention to cause him pain but I’m pretty sure that even when I am more highly evolved and, in fact, never want to cause him pain, I will, inevitably, do something that causes him pain because he is choosing to learn by being in pain. I guess the question for me is whether I am tired of playing the role of the bearer of this lesson.

I apologize, the last thing I want to do is bore you, yet again, with my personal drama and shortcomings. As usual though, they are instructive. My raison d’etre, my son, is going off to Asia in a few months to start the next phase of his adventure. As such, I don’t know where I’m going to live, or, really, how. This could easily be perceived as chaos but, thank you WHOMEVER, I just feel totally centered, grounded and happy. I heard this morning that in the midst of chaos there can still be gratitude and that is exactly how I am feeling. I am so profoundly grateful for just everything and everyone right now that waves of gratitude are flowing out of my body and into the room. I hope you can feel it. I will intend that you be able to feel it.

I just know in my heart and in all of my being that everything is going to be fine. In the midst of chaos there can still be gratitude. I am grateful for the love, the support, the knowing, for all of you and for me, the All of me. I am so grateful I am overflowing right now and I ask, most humbly, should I leave this most profound of places and go to my head and the fears contained therein in the coming weeks and months, to be reminded, gently, that in the midst of chaos there can still be gratitude.

So if you seem to be in the midst of chaos right now I’m going to invite you to get out of your head and get into your heart for just a moment (or forever, it’s your choice) and just feel this gratitude. There is no reason for it because everything in your life, and beyond your life, is the reason for it. Just get into your center and get out of your head and know that in the midst of chaos there can still be gratitude; the most powerful heart energy there is.

I was also told this morning that I am an anchor for myself and will be a beacon for everyone to know and feel that in the midst of chaos, as we take our next and potentially most frightening steps, there can still be gratitude. Pray for me. Hold space for me to remember this lesson; to live this lesson. And I will for all of you.

From the recognition of something greater within me to the recognition of something greater that is you...
